Panel Proposals

There are three panel options when submitting a proposal, which include Research Panels, Designer Track Panels, and IP Track Panels.

Research Panels are organized as sessions within the technical conference program. Panels are intended to be of broad interest and attract a large audience. Panel topics should be interesting and timely, and the panels themselves should be engaging and informative. Each Research Panel is 60 minutes long.

Designer Track Panels - The Designer Track is industry focused and is targeted specifically at practitioners. Whether you are an EDA tool user, hardware designer, software engineer or architect, application engineer, consultant, or an engineering manager, the Designer Track is an ideal place to meet and share your experiences. Each Designer Track Panel is 90 minutes long.

IP Track Panels – The IP Track is industry focused and is targeted specifically at practitioners. Whether you are an EDA tool user, hardware designer, software engineer or architect, IP provider, IP core user, application engineer, consultant, or an engineering manager, the IP Track is an ideal place to meet and share your experiences. Each IP Track Panel is 90 minutes long.

A good panel session explores a single high-level issue or question and includes representatives of differing viewpoints. Controversy is appropriate and encouraged. The topic should be relevant to multiple segments of DAC attendees. This year DAC has the following topic areas: Automotive, Design, EDA, ESS, IoT, IP, Machine Learning/AI, and Security/Privacy. See the Submission Categories tab below for more information.

We encourage the submission of ideas and suggestions for panel topics. The DAC Panels Chair will do his best to collaborate with the panel proposers to shape and refine the suggestions and to finalize the slate of panel speakers. Submitters of panel suggestions that are chosen for the conference will be recognized in the final conference program. All panels, panel speakers and moderators must receive final approval from the DAC Executive Committee, which takes into consideration the topics and the participants of all conference sessions to provide a diverse set of topics, participants and perspectives.

Note: All panelist and moderators are required to register for the conference (a single day registration pass is acceptable). All registration waivers and exceptions will require the General Chair approval prior to the panel acceptance.

Submission Format

Please submit as much information as possible about your Panel suggestion in the web form:

The title of the Panel

Abstract, at most 500 words

Organizer(s) name(s), affiliation, city, state, country, and email address

Suggested moderator’s name, affiliation, city, state, country and email address

Suggested panelists’ names, bios, viewpoints, affiliations, city, state, country and email addresses

Intended audience

Controversy: What are the differing points of views that will be represented? For a panel to be interesting, it must be controversial.

If a similar panel has been presented at DAC or a related conference in the recent past, please indicate why the topic is relevant for presentation in 2021.

Review Process & Selection

Each submission will be evaluated by the Panels Chair, who may refine the proposals and the slate of speakers to better fit the conference program. The Panels Chair will then work with the proposers of accepted panel submissions to finalize them for inclusion in the program. Proposers of accepted panels will be acknowledged in the DAC program (online and in print) and in the DAC proceedings.

New for 2021: All accepted panels will be recorded for the DAC Archives.
